Great space and perfect location!

This is a great space and a perfect location. I cant really imagine finding anything better for the price and it was exactly what we needed. The house is old, and I believe that is part of what contributes to the smell, but there's also some kind of animal smell. I honestly wonder if it isn't bats? The primary smell seemed to be coming from the entry area and when we closed of the door at the top of the stairs it made it much better. Overall though, this is a great place. We have animals at home and live on a hobby farm, the smell wasnt that bad and for the price and location I will definitely look to stay here again!

Do not book if you have animal allergies. My daughter became very ill as soon as we arrived at the property. The host was very responsive and worked with us on a refund and finding another place to stay.

Excellent place to stay

Our stay in Nauvoo was absolutely wonderful, thanks to Rebecca and her exceptional apartment. Rebecca was incredibly informative and proactive in her communications before our stay, making everything seamless and stress-free. The apartment itself was immaculate and exceeded our expectations in every way. It had everything we needed, which truly made our time in Nauvoo easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend staying here—Rebecca has created a fantastic experience for her guests!

Okay

The house was perfectly located within walking distance to stores and downtown. I was sufficient in size. Unfortunately it smelled like cat urine and kitty litter. When we wanted to buy some form of air freshener, there was a note stating that they were not allowed to be used in the house?! . The shower water never got hot enough. It stayed just above the warm temp. The wood stairs leading up to the house were not lit and so it was dangerous to walk up and down when they were wet and slippery.

Good Location, Clean and Comfortable..but the SMELL

Pros: The place was very clean and comfortable for our stay. The location was excellent. The hostess was kind and was willing to make our stay more comfortable. Cons: The smell of pets was REALLY BAD. The odor was overwhelming. It took some time before we got used to it, but it hit us every time we came back there.

REALLY nice apartment! Comfy and well stocked with bedding, pots and pans, towels etc. Its an old house, which I love, but the floor creaks so don't plan on sneaking in the kitchen for a midnight snack! We had a super great time and definitely would come back to this apartment!

Disappointing and Misleading Experience.

I recently stayed at this apartment and was extremely disappointed. The pictures promised a clean, cozy space with a blue couch, a tan chair, a beautiful rug, and a twin bed. However, the reality was far from what was advertised. The blue couch was actually covered in a sloppy, ill-fitting cover over a non-functioning pull-out bed. The tan chair? Covered with an unattractive floral print slipcover. There was no rug in sight. To make matters worse, the house smelled strongly of cat urine upon entering, and the odor only intensified when the air conditioner was on, circulating the smell throughout the apartment. When I brought this up to the owner, I was told, "Some people smell it, some don’t," and they offered me a candle as a solution. A candle?! There's even a note on the refrigerator that says, "Do not use air fresheners in the apartment, only cleaning supplies," which made me question if the apartment had been cleaned properly. I’m shocked that no one has written a review about this before. I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean and pleasant stay.

Cute little place

It was a cute little place. It was just me and a friend so plenty of room. Excellent location and easy parking. I could smell the cat smell that other reviews posted about so just be aware of that if you are allergic. The place was clean. We didn't need to use the kitchen at all so I can't speak to appliances.

The master bed is comfortable. The bunk beds appear to be sized and accessible for children rather than adults (tight squeeze but doable). Two full baths great for multiple people staying. The kitchen has plenty dishware, utensils, equipment. The rooms are clean. Rebeca was readily reachable.

Great place

Our family enjoyed our stay at the fairy Bowery. The location was perfect for our visit. We really didn’t spend much time there, but each night when we returned we had a great nights sleep. Plenty of beds, air mattresses, blankets, etc. We loved that it had two full bathrooms for our family of six.

The property is in a great location and has two full bathrooms. It is definitely an older home with all the charms that come with it. There was an issue with the cleaning schedule and the unit was not clean when we arrived. The owner was very responsive and did her best to take care of the situation. Parking was right at the unit and always available. We stayed 6 nights and did laundry at the local laundry mat which is very close to the unit.

Location is excellent, property was clean

I would stay here again and would recommend to family and friends. It's in a cute old building. My parents appreciated the Master bedroom and bath. Just up the street from the temple and Zion's Mercantile. And a quick drive to the historic buildings. There are stairs to get to the front door and a few more stairs just inside. But, the outside steps are lighted and all the stairs are easy to navigate.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Host responded rapidly to communication and values constructive feedback. The unit was older and quirky but very comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed for preparing and eating our simple meals. We watched our favorite series using the HDMI cable that the host thoughtfully provided, and there was a Roku device attached, but we did not use it. WiFi had lots of bandwidth. Convenience store and Dollar General directly next door on either side, respectively. Would be a great unit for a young family on a visit to Nauvoo.
